Civics Corner

The foundation of our nation’s history is based on our educated and active populace. From the creation of the United States Constitution in 1787, American citizens have played an important role in determining the nation’s future, who its leaders shall be and which laws we live under. Everyone, young and old, should have a good understanding of how our government works. That’s the only way we can participate in the political process.
